Make we joy in this feast, in quo Christus natus est,
A Patre Unigenitus, to a maiden is come to us;
Sing we of Him and say we, "Welcome, veni, Redemptor gencium."
Agnoscat omne seculum, a bright star kings made come;
For to us with their presents, verbum superum prodiens.
A solis ortus cardine, so mighty a lord is none as He.
. . . And to our Lord He hath grith.

Marya ventre concepit, the Holy Ghost was aye her with;
Of her in Bethlehem now born He is, Consors Paterni luminis,
Alma beata Trinitas, that lay between an ox and ass,
By His mother maiden free, gloria Tibi Domine.
